Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi Android Application to Continue Support of Orange UK’s Signal Boost Roll-Out

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kineto Wireless, the key innovator and leading supplier of Smart Wi-Fi solutions for mobile operators, today announced it will continue working with Orange UK to help support its popular Signal Boost service on selected Android smartphones with Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi Application.

Kineto Wireless has worked with Orange UK to ensure its Signal Boost service is available on a range of Android handsets offered by Orange, to use ordinary wi-fi to help enhance customers home and office coverage. Orange has recently introduced Android smartphones, using Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi Application, which include: the Desire S, the Wildfire S and Cha Cha from HTC; and the Optimus One and ME from LG Electronics.

“Our Signal Boost service has been very successful in providing an in-home coverage solution for those customers who require it,” said Paul Jevons, director of product marketing with Orange. “So we’re looking forward to working with Kineto Wireless to roll it out onto further handsets in the future.”

Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi Application is the industry’s only smartphone application that delivers an intelligent offload solution while improving coverage using existing Wi-Fi access points. It provides users with the identical mobile voice, SMS and data service experience over Wi-Fi as they receive on the outdoor cellular network.

“Kineto has a strong relationship working with Orange UK on Signal Boost,” said Mark Powell, vice president of Kineto’s client software business unit and a co-founder of the company. “With Signal Boost on select Android devices, Orange is able to offer its customers an extra innovation which is unique to them in the UK.”

The Smart Wi-Fi Application is available through leading mobile service providers in Europe and North America. It is available on more than 25 commercial Android smartphones from leading suppliers like Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG.
